What we do, step by step

Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you know when to expect us. Once we are there, the work takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface. The room is left tidy.

  1. First, we check whether the tray moves.
  2. The damaged area is cleaned and opened up.
  3. We reinforce any crack and fill the damage.
  4. The repair is shaped, colour matched and finished.
  5. We leave it to cure, normally until the following day.

Before we arrive

  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Ensure the room can be ventilated

When we would advise against a repair

We would rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:

  • Damage below the tray that needs a builder
  • Trays cracked in several places
  • Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)

If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before you book.

Materials we work on in Bibstone

  • Acrylic
  • Cast iron
  • Ceramic
  • Stone resin
  • Enamelled steel

DIY repairs versus a professional job

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

How to look after the repair

Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:

  • Store bottles off the tray
  • Do not ignore a tray that flexes
  • Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
  • Use the extractor fan

Rinse the tray down after showering, clean with mild cleaners, and keep the sealant in good condition so water cannot get underneath.

If the tray creaks or moves, get it checked, before it cracks.

What shower tray repair costs

Prices start from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:

  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • The material
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Send pictures for a quote

Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • The material, if you know it
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings

If you are in Bibstone and want a price, photos are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

Bibstone questions

Can a cracked shower tray be repaired?

Generally, if the tray is firmly supported. The crack is reinforced, filled and refinished.

Do the materials smell?

A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.

Do you hold any accreditations?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit typically costs less than separate visits. Send photos of everything you’d like done.

How much does shower tray repair cost in Bibstone?

Prices start from £95. Every job gets a fixed quote based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.

Is a cracked shower tray safe to use?

It’s best to stop using it until it’s checked, because water may be getting underneath.

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

We review the pictures and send a fixed quote.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we will say so.

For landlords and businesses

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Bibstone as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.

Signs you need shower tray repair in Bibstone

Heavy bottles, shower heads and dropped razors chip trays, typically on the edges or near the plughole.

Common reasons people in Bibstone contact us are:

  • A tray that creaks or moves underfoot
  • A crack across the base
  • Chips or cracks by the plughole
  • Edge chips from dropped bottles

Before you book anyone

  • What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • When it can be used again

Choosing a repair company

What your shower tray is made of matters

Stone resin

Stone resin trays are rigid and slim. They need a flat, solid base, and we match repairs to the surface finish.

Enamelled steel

Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Exposed metal can rust, so early repairs help.
